hello all,
i am really having a hard time to generate 5 axis toolpaths. the other day i tried all day and could finally manage to generate toolpaths for machining a three sided pyramid with pockets. (see attached example" dreiseitige pyramide..."). today i milled it but there is a problem with the pocket toolpaths, they are 180° in the wrong direction. the tip of the pocket is at the base of the triangle. the blue arrow is facing always down when choosing direction in the window which occurs when you press the forth button from the left.
today i wanted to redo the generating of the toolpath and it is not working at all!!! i wrote exactly down when i did it the other day, and today it does not work again
maybe there is somewhere a setting wrong that i am not aware of. i am not really very good with rhino and madcam so there might be a beginners mistake. (or more...)
could someone show me how to generate a very simple 5 axis trunion toolpath on a very simple objekt, like a cube with a cut off edge? i attached the rhino file. i think then i can find out the rest myself. the files are in the zip attachment.
i would really appreciate any help.
thank you very much,
michael
